Day 2 - Ljubljana to Bled - 56km

Today we ride out of Ljubljana, following the river using the pedestrianised route through the city. We cross multiple bridges and eventually reach the open countryside. From here you start to experience the real Slovenia! Rolling soft hills, small well tended villages. From here, be prepared to experience green as you may never have seen it before!. Slovenia is so safe, crime free, people so proud of their gardens and homes. It is simply stunning! https://www.bled.si/en/

Day 3 - Bled to Kranjska Gora - 36km

Bled is like a fairytale story, no matter what the weather, it is a magical place. But leave the beauty of Bled behind we must, and wind our cycling way along the recently paved trail of the Krma valley, This is so quiet, you often only have the cows peacefully grazing for company. Such peace and tranquility begins to wrap around you like a happy dream, and you feel the stresses and strains of everyday life begin to ebb away... All of a sudden its lunchtime, and our break today is in a breathtaking location. Having enjoyed a homemade lunch, we climb a short sharp hill before a downward run to Mojstrana, with more breathtaking views as we go. From here we follow the trail to the left, stopping to marvel at the Pericnik waterfall, and then on to Kranjska Gora on the cycle path which follows the crystal clear blue river. Your overnight at the end of this day is a fabulous, pretty as a picture, guesthouse with restaurant, in breathtaking Kranjska Gora, with views of mountains, whichever way you look! https://kranjska-gora.si/

Day 4 - Kranjska Gora to Bovec - 54km

This morning we follow the cycling path heading into Italy through Travisio and onto the Predihl Pass https://www.erjavcevakoca.com/predil-fortress/ As you would expect from being in an Alpine region, the scenery is spectacular. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more so, it does! Our descent of 26km into the Soca valley leads us eventually to cycle alongside the Soca river which has to be seen to be believed! Such a deep emerald colour it almost seems unreal. Your accommodation that night is a quaint family run Hotel, where you can continue to fall in love with the breathtaking scenery from the balcony, which perches above the river itself! Also only three hundred meters away is https://www.soca-valley.com/en/in-search-of-adventure/nature/2020122810530277/the-boka-waterfall/

Day 5 - Bovec to Most Na Soci - 37km

Todays ride very easy, yet again utterly gorgeous. I can not put into words how pristine this little country is. We reach the lovely town of Tolmin and take a slight detour to https://www.soca-valley.com/sl/predstavitev-znamenitosti/tolminska-korita/ After a couple of hours enjoing the Gorge we cycle once more along the Soca river new bike path to your very special accommodation https://www.penzion-sterk.si/ Here the most beautiful view as you dine overlooking https://www.soca-valley.com/en/in-search-of-adventure/nature/2020122814092169/lake-at-most-na-soci/

Day 6 - Most Na Soci to Capriva Del Friuli (Italy) - 52km

We begin the day gently, winding our way through vineyards and ancient villages, far from the madding crowd. And then we go really rural! The landscape becomes rough, covered with heather, bracken and olive groves, hilly and wild. Old castle ruins barely standing, the only invader now being nature. This landscape is in such contrast to previous days, it is as if we are now in a different country altogether! Lunch is back in Slovenia this day and then after, as we cycle back to Italy and closer to Trieste, tantalising glimpses of the Adriatic appear, glittering jewel that it is. Today we stay and Dine in this many generations familly owned Wine House, Which means? 😉 https://www.slovenia.info/sl/vipavska-dolina

Day 7 - Capriva Del Friuli to Vipava - 42km

Below the high Karst plateaus lies the Vipava Valley, the beauty caught between the Alpine. You will be treated to a landscape where special wines mature, where the luscious smell of the maturing fruit lingers in the pristine air and where picturesque villages huddle among the green hills. Numerous wine cellars and taste the delicacies produced by the Vipava soil. Tonight you shall taste the wines and listen to the story in the house of https://www.vino-zorz.si/

Day 8 - Vipava to Skocjan

LasTotally diferent landscape yet again. The land much harder now and yet the people even more frendly. Today we head for https://www.park-skocjanske-jame.si/en/ This route has hardly been touched by tourism and the caves are never busy, easy to explore with the Cave guide of course.

Day 9 - Škocjan to Piran

Last day in the saddle, using part of the old railway https://www.parenzana.net/ now a designated bike path. We shall enter the coastal Town of Koper then hugging the Aratic wind our wonderfull way to Piran. Oh my goodness i miss this tour so much just writing about it ! 🙂 https://www.slovenia.info/en/places-to-go/regions/mediterranean-karst-slovenia/portoroz-piran Piran is one of the most Photographed Towns in Slovenia. Totally pedestian and is worth an extra day at least to explore. At the end of this incredible cycling holiday we shall transfer you to your Airport, Train station or other. Remember all you do is pedal we do the rest.
